Final Installation Check
Once you have completed the installation of the dryer
and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation
with the following tests and Installation Test (Duct
Check) on the following page.
testing dryer heating
GAS MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting.
When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main
burner.
ELECTRIC MODELS
Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn
the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The
exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been
operating for 3 minutes.
checking airflow
Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.
The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by
evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the
exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer,
placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm)
from the dryer.
Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6
inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the
dryer is running with no load.
checking levelness
Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer
to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level front to back
and side to side, and that all 4 leveling feet are firmly on
the floor.
notE
If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter
may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this
happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after
approximately two minutes.

Installation Test (Duct check)
Once you have completed the installation of the dryer,
use this test to make sure the condition of the exhaust
system is adequate for proper operation of the dryer.
This test should be performed to alert you to any serious
problems in the exhaust system of your home.
• Your dryer features Flow Sense™, an innovative sensing
system that automatically detects blockages and
restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean
of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to
dry faster and reduces energy use.
To activate the installation test:
1.
Remove the literature, and then close the door
.
Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as in
may affect the accuracy of the results.
2.
Press and hold the Temp.Control and Signal
buttons and then press the POWER button.
This button sequence activates the installation test.
The code
will display if the activation is
successful.
3.
Press START/PAUSE button.
The dryer will start the test, which will last about
two minutes. The heat will be turned on and the
temperatures in the drum will be measured.
4.
Check the display for results.
During the three minute test cycle, monitor the
Flow Sense™ display on the control panel. If no bars
are displayed, when the cycle ends, the exhaust
system is adequate. If the exhaust system is severely
restricted, the display will show four bars. Other
problems may also be shown with error codes. Refer
to the next page for error code details and solutions.
Four bars indicates that the exhaust system is severely
restricted. Have the system checked immediately, as
performance will be poor.
5.
End of cycle.
At the end of the test cycle,
will display.
The test cycle will end and the dryer will shut off
automatically after a short delay.

The dryer should be cool before starting this test. If
the dryer was warmed up during installation, run the
AIR DRY cycle for a few minutes to reduce the interior
temperature.
